The First day of racing provided some insights for the rest of the campaign :
1.These boats really fly: over 40kts on the reach in 10-11kts winds. Conversely, they are so hard to control in close match race, as shown by the collision between BAR and Team Japan. We will see more action-packed races in the days to come.
2. Oracle, with the agressive Spithill at the helm will be the team to beat. Look at his maneuver to overtake TNZ: great move!
3. The French is the weakest team, losing lots with each tack and gybe. They re the only team with no win.
